Description

Explore the complex relationship between global trends and local identity with Globalisation, Tourism and Simulacra. This scholarly work from the Routledge Advances in Sociology series applies Baudrillardian theory to the specific landscape of Thailand. Rather than viewing tourism as a force that destroys tradition, this study suggests that local culture can be recreated through the processes of globalisation. By examining the Damnoen Saduk and Pattaya floating markets, the text demonstrates how these spaces function as simulations of Thai culture. These sites undergo transformations in form, activity, and cultural content through different stages of representation. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how value and signs circulate within tourist spaces. This book is an essential resource for students and academics interested in how representation shapes the way we perceive and experience culture in a globalized world.

Key Features

Applies Baudrillardian thought to analyze the specific effects of globalisation and tourism within a Thai context.

Examines the Damnoen Saduk and Pattaya floating markets to illustrate how cultural simulations function in real time.

Offers a unique perspective on how local culture can be recreated through global interaction rather than simply eroded.

Analyzes the circulation of value and signs to explain how tourist spaces change through various stages of representation.

Provides academic depth for those studying the sociology of tourism and the changing nature of cultural identity.
